How come I have forgotten about this cute boardtracker sitting since a long time in my digital files. The kind of bike you imagine could have been discovered in an old barn in the middle of nowhere, then immaculately restored after months of intense labor. As a matter of fact, “Ode To A Legend” was built from the ground up by René Van Tuil in a small village of the Netherlands counting less than 1000 inhabitants. Not a smaller task than a restoration when you realize about much of the bike is painstakingly hand fabricated.

One of the great things about the AMD world championships is meeting each builder and understanding his or her build. There is a story in each build and one can feel the passion. Rene’ has tons of passion.
